DC Rebirth #1: Hope vs Despair 

It’s finally over: the long and at times painful New 52 is no more. We now find DC doing a much needed Rebirth. Now for me the term Rebirth is very special. While I preferred DC to Marvel in the past, I wasn’t a hardcore reader. It wasn’t until a chance encounter with Geoff Johns –

Blu Ray Review: Justice League vs Teen Titans 

It’s an interesting question that I feel most comic nerds can answer: who are your Teen Titans? While generationally for me it should’ve been the Cartoon Network Teen Titans, it was a series I largely skipped, as it just didn’t appeal to me. My first true introduction was Geoff Johns’ Teen Titans Vol 1. While the vs

Review – Batman: Bad Blood

While I’m not the only one that enjoys a solid Batman story, there is something to be said about over saturation of any one character. I understand the choice as a business decision; Batman is the most popular DC characters and he sells well. I’m just at the point where I might need a bit of a

Blu Ray Review – Spirited Away

In terms of animation there are very few studios that I will absolutely watch anything they produce.

I have the same rule with Directors – and the list has been getting shorter and shorter as prequels and remakes

Review: Rise of the Tomb Raider – Xbox One

Before the reboot of the Tomb Raider series my experience with Lara Croft was extremely limited. I saw the movies with Angelina and even watched my wife play through most of the series. While the game certainly seemed entertaining I just didn’t see Lara’s true potential – until the reboot. Fast forward and we are

Review: Dragon Ball Z – Resurrection F

Before my power level reached over 9000, I was headed to the fabled land of Junior High. But like every school year, my mother insisted that I get a couple of new shirts. That Friday we headed to the Miller’s Outpost. For our younger readers Miller’s was a combination of Old Navy and Hot Topic.

Review: Transformers Devastation – Xbox One

There was really something special about the 80s, specifically with our Saturday morning cartoons. While most were there to sell countless amounts of plastic toys, there were those special series that still managed to keeps their spark, in particular the leader of the Autobots: Optimus Prime. What’s truly fascinating is he has stood the test of time
